And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What doth Allah intend by this ?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a reminder to mankind.

32.

Nay, verily: By the Moon,

33.

And by the Night as it retreateth,

34.

And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,-

35.

This is but one of the mighty (Portents),

36.

A warning to mankind,-

37.

To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;-

38.

Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.

39.

Except the Companions of the Right Hand.

40.

(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,

41.

And (ask) of the Sinners:

42.

"What led you into Hell Fire?"

43.

They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;

44.

"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;

45.

"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;

46.

"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

47.

"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."

48.

Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.

49.

Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?-

50.

As if they were affrighted asses,

51.

Fleeing from a lion!

52.

Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!

53.

By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,

54.

Nay, this surely is an admonition:

55.

Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!

56.

But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
